Marie Force masterfully weaves suspense and romance, taking you on a journey to find love in the most unexpected places.” ~ Bestselling author Sawyer Bennett“WOW.

The writing flowed so well between all the characters and dual timelines. I loved getting a viewpoint from every character and seeing how this difficult situation affected each and every one of them. I could really feel the emotions of the characters throughout and was brought to tears by the end. This is such a heavy topic but written so well I could not put it down.

This book is no exception, yet it is very different from her usual books. A horrendous event. Understandable and gut wrenching reactions from everyone. I love how the author used multiple POV’s to tell this story. I was totally invested; at times appalled and wanting to cry and at other times angry. I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting (yes, it was 2am before I finished). Kudos to the author!” ~ 5 stars, Karen on Goodreads“Ya’ll, this is one bombshell of a book. It’s a short, fast, intense read, and it hits you hard and in all the feels.” ~ 5 stars, Dea Farrel on Goodreads“This was such a riveting story!

John knew he was going to let this woman down. He’d probably already gotten her hopes up that there could be something real between them. He put his hands to hers and pulled them away from his face. “Ava, I need you to know, I can’t …” he cursed under his breath. “This can’t be more than sex between us. It can’t go anywhere other than that.” She shocked the hell out of him when she grinned and nodded, her eyes sparkling like he’d just told her something fantastic. “I know. Isn’t it great?” He did one of those comical double takes. “It is?” If his chest tightened a little at that, he didn’t acknowledge it. Her amusement was clear. “Yes.” She looked around, as though she thought her dad or sister might be listening in, and lowered her voice. “We were always great in bed together. I don’t have time or room in my life for a real relationship. You don’t want to get married again. It’s perfect.” John nodded.
